A match in which Ousmane Dembélé will be eagerly awaited. The French international is performing well on the national scene where he is increasingly effective in front of the opposing goal. The number 10 has found the goal 9 times this season for 7 assists delivered.
Sometimes positioned as a right winger, the 2018 world champion is currently aligned in a role of false number 9 by Luis Enrique. A position which allows him to be even more unpredictable on the pitch despite some waste.
In an interview with the newspaper l’Équipe, Julian Stéphan spoke about the former Barcelona player. For him, the Frenchman is one of the most formidable players with the ball in Europe.
“I find Luis Enrique’s management to be of a high standard. From the start, he only communicated about Ousmane’s strong points. You have to see his qualities before seeing his faults. In the imbalance, he is top 2 or 3 in the world,” he said.
Before continuing. “Dembele in the axis? It’s a very interesting position for him. He can create danger by finding himself in “dead zones”, between the midfield and the attack. This can allow it to turn around and gain speed. »
In the middle this Sunday against ASSE?
This Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain faces AS Saint-Etienne as part of the 17th day of Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes. At the top of the standings with 4 points ahead of Olympique de Marseille, the capital club wants to distance itself from its Olympian rival.
For this part, Ousmane Dembélé should start in attack. It remains to be seen whether he will play in the center or in the right lane. According to the latest reports, it is not impossible to see him back on track.
The probable XI of Paris SG: Donnarumma – Mendes, Pacho, Beraldo, Hakimi (cap.) – Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Doué, Dembélé, Barcola
